TBC Internatia


Tashkveny is a country that participates in the Internatia Song Contest. Formerly being one of only 5 countries to compete in every Contest, the country took a break after their 8th participation, but returned for Internatia Song Contest 10. Despite mixed fortunes for Tashkveny over the various Contests, interest remains high, and viewing figures are some of the largest that both TBC, NBC and TNT have throughout the year, including a record 59.85 million viewers, or 84.9% viewing share, watching during the 4th Internatia Song Contest, where Tashkveny was beaten into 2nd place, scoring 17 points less than eventual winners, Sibinia.

Tashkveny has also had a few issues with disqualifications, which have plagued its entries ever since their first participation in the Internatia Song Contest. Towards the end of ISC 1, Invertulloch suffered a massive powercut, meaning that Tashken televoters could not vote for their favourite songs, and the backup Jury could not contact Spirevo to present their votes. If disqualification did not occur, Tashkveny would have placed joint 2nd, along with hosts Spirevo. Tashkveny has also been disqualified for three consecutive editions, namely ISC 6, 7 and 8. Tashkveny's disqualification during ISC 8, due to internal mismanagement at TBC, was particularly painful for the Tashken public, as Mànran had placed 3rd in their Semi Final, guaranteeing qualification into the final. Public enquiries were held into why this disqualification occurred, and, as a result, Tashkveny would be absent for ISC 9, held in Saint Eva & Lepland Saint Eva & Lepland. The 9th contest would be broadcast by TBC, but on speciality broadcaster TBC Showcase. The contest gained its lowest ever rating here, only being viewed by 2.42 million people.

Throughout the years, Tashkveny has been shown to be more successful when using its 2nd and 3rd most spoken languages, French and Scottish Gaelic respectively. "Entries in the English language tend not to be as successful for Tashkveny", Catriona Dodd, head of Entertainment for TBC said, "However, we won't give up on the language, considering it is the most spoken language in the country. We will try harder and harder to find the perfect English language song from a Tashken artist to represent our country."

As of recent, Tashkveny have not been doing as well as its previous participations. This has not gone unnoticed in the Tashken press, with constant calls for Tashkveny to withdraw. Withdrawal is looking less likely for the future, as Internatia (and its semi-finals), are (with the exception of the 9th ISC) are present in the year-end Top 10 television broadcasts in Tashkveny.

With the return of Tashkveny in ISC 27, after a 3 edition absence, TBC took full control of broadcasting the contest, broadcasting both the semi-finals and the final of the competition.
